"Because of this, during this period of time we have to straighten out the government affairs in the city before we can free up our hands to discuss the matter of dividing the fields. We cannot rush the matter of dividing the fields. There are rogue bandits outside now, it is still snowing heavily in many places, and the mountain roads are not Good to go. I plan to wait until the weather gets warmer and send people to measure the land nearby. At that time, I have to figure out the rules for dividing the land. Otherwise, if you say your family is missing, he will say that his land is not good, all these must be taken into consideration. Arrive. Don’t worry, everyone, I, Xu Zhenying, am here to express my position to everyone. The fields will definitely be divided, and the fields will be divided before spring, so that everyone’s production will not be delayed!”

This statement made everyone in the chicken coop applaud.

When Xu Zhenying led people out of the chicken coop, Fang Xun followed behind him helplessly. This time Fang Ningmo couldn't help it, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she secretly smiled.

Last night at the dinner table, this cousin shed tears of sympathy for those who were assigned to raise pigs. Unexpectedly, the situation changed, and now he not only had to raise pigs, but also became the person in charge of raising pigs.

According to Fang Ningmo, there is nothing wrong with raising pigs. Xu Zhenying said that she has a way to increase pig production quickly. Thinking about it this way, although this position sounds dirty, smelly, and demeaning, it is very easy. Produce results.

The word "results" is often mentioned by Xu Zhenying. It can be seen that Xu Zhenying does not despise any industry, and it all depends on whether there are tangible results.

What's more, if it is true as Xu Zhenying said, firstly, it can make pigs gain weight quickly, and secondly, it can remove the odor from pigs, then pork will quickly replace mutton and become a must-have item on the tables of the people of the Zhou Dynasty!
If it weren't for the fact that a girl's family had a bad reputation for raising pigs, Fang Ningmo would have really wanted to take the initiative to ask Ying to raise pigs.

Seeing Fang Xun's sad face, Xu Zhenying also felt that she had gone too far, and pressed Fang Xun's hand over and over again. The main reason was that the people under her hands were much braver, but few were capable of literature and martial arts. This also sounded to her. A wake-up call, basic education is urgent, otherwise it will be impossible to alleviate the shortage of personnel.

So she comforted Fang Xun and said: "Fang Xun, you don't have to look sad. It's not difficult to raise pigs. I have a way and I will send others to help."

Fang Xun shook his head, "I don't reject it. The city lord is right. It's all to solve the food problem in Lan County. Although the food in the warehouse looks rich, it can only survive this winter. When spring comes, the food will It will be stretched, and we still have to study breeding."

Xu Zhenying smiled. It was rare that Fang Xun did not have the burden of being a nobleman. Xu Zhenying would feel very tired if he still had to do Fang Xun's ideological work.

"In that case, why are you worried?"

"I was thinking about where piglets come from. How to build pig houses. How to make pigs grow faster. It's a pity that my grandfather's cart of books was lost during the escape. Otherwise, I really want to go back and read about agriculture. books."

"So that's what you're worried about." Xu Zhenying felt comforted, but also admired Fang Xun's ability to change his mind so quickly and invest in an industry he didn't like. Such an employee who obeys organizational arrangements and has initiative, she can I really like it.

"Don't be too psychologically stressed. This is an extraordinary period. We are all crossing the river by feeling the stones. We all have to try step by step. We are destined to fail many times. My plan for raising pigs is the same as raising chickens. I will give it to you. There are two groups of people, one group is responsible for the specific affairs of raising pigs, and the other group is able to read and write, and they will cooperate with you in researching how to increase pig production. Don't panic, I also have some methods here, which I will tell you in detail later. .I am not joking. Gaining twenty pounds a month is not an unattainable goal."

After hearing this, Fang Xun nodded slightly, feeling that his uneasiness was finally gone.

Xu Yinxi reminded: "City Lord, according to our statistics, there are not many piglets in Lan County. If we want to engage in centralized breeding, wouldn't the more piglets the better? But the people don't seem to trust us very much. , most of them are unwilling to give us piglets..."

"These are all minor problems." Xu Yinxi smiled lightly, "You will always encounter problems when doing things, not to mention that what we are doing is unprecedented and unprecedented, and there is nothing to learn from. If we encounter problems in the future , let’s all work together, just like this issue of raising pigs, if you have any good opinions or suggestions, please share them.”

Xu Zhenying likes to ask questions at short notice to test everyone, especially he likes to take exams on the go. Everyone behind him feels like they are facing a formidable enemy, and their minds are spinning rapidly. Feng'er is quick to think, and first said: "You can make money for the common people, or you can buy the small business directly." Piggy.”

Fang Xun shook his head, "No. If girls pay for everything, then our place won't last long. Besides, the people themselves also want to raise pigs. Unless you compensate them according to the price of the pigs when they grow up, they won't be willing. Sell ​​the piglets.”

Xu Yinxi pondered for a moment and said: "Can we come up with a strategy that covers the whole situation? We don't have to pay a single coin. We will collect all the pigs from the common people first. We will determine that a pig weighs two hundred kilograms, and then six months later, we will directly use the two hundred kilograms of meat. Return it to the people, and the excess will be our own. In this way, the people have not lost anything. We raised the pigs and provided the feed. The people got two hundred kilograms of pork for free. I think... no one will be unhappy."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhenying retorted: "Your method is indeed good, but raising pigs is not a day's work. It will take three or four months at least. The people don't trust us, and they are not sure how long we can stay in Lan County. They won’t believe in the long-term benefits. They’ll just think we’re writing a blank check.”

People asked: "What is a bad check?"

"It's just... I just issued a banknote for you, but you can't get it out at the bank."

Everyone suddenly realized it, and couldn't help but feel that the words "blank check" were still somewhat vivid.

Xu Zhenying's worries were justified, and for a while everyone was at their wits' end.

"Let's go back and think about a solution for this matter first. If we really can't think of a solution, we can only do it according to the method mentioned by the fourth sister. I will advance the money to buy the piglets."

Xu Yinxi wanted to persuade again: "City Lord, your money is also money. There are more than 5000 people in this city, and you cannot use your family wealth every time. If this continues, your family wealth will be emptied sooner or later."

Everyone looked a little embarrassed.

After entering the city, almost all the food and drink were obtained by the third room of the Xu family, which made them straighten their backs.

"It doesn't matter, the advance payment will only happen during the period when we first enter the city. What's more, the big head is also from the Chen Wang Liu Gu family. When the pig house, chicken house, etc. are built, we can be self-sufficient. Now that the people have money, the financial situation will improve after the entire administration is up and running. Fang Xun, the matter of building a pig house is imminent, and it is related to whether we can gain a foothold in Lan County. You must put this matter first. One."

Fang Xun agreed and was no longer uneasy. Instead, he was already thinking about building a pig house.

Xu Yinxi thought about how it was difficult to gather so many people, and took the opportunity to discuss what should be discussed, and then said: "City Lord, how did you arrange the land distribution thing you just told the aunties."

Mo Jinchun, who had been observing the situation for a long time, spoke up: "City Lord, you just promised to straighten out the land allocation before spring plowing, but with five thousand refugees, according to the current amount of cultivated land in Lan County, there is only half more cultivated land. That's all right. Most of the extra farmland will have to be cleared, and there may be no harvest in the first year. You have to take all of this into consideration."

Mo Jinchun originally thought that he would observe the situation first before arriving here.It would not be good if he spoke rashly, violated some taboo, and made people think he was shallow and rude.

Unexpectedly, I saw that several of them were discussing very lively, and Xu Zhenying was not like the average leader. What she called discussion was really discussion. She did not look down on others because of their crude and superficial words, but taught them carefully and followed her. It can be felt from the way that girl Feng'er talks that she doesn't have much knowledge, but she can still do these things in an orderly manner.

From this point of view, Xu Zhenying is either extremely short of people around him, or he doesn't care about the knowledge of his subordinates.

Moreover, Xu Zhenying's discussion was very simple and pure. Everyone expressed their own opinions and then discussed together. Everyone discussed the matter and expressed their own opinions, which was peaceful.

There was also someone in Mo Jinchun's family who was seeking an official position in the court, and he was lucky enough to witness the officials' discussions.

No matter what happened, it would last ten days and a half. It was just to see who was in the same party with whom, and who had touched whose interests. He had never seen such a pure deliberation style like Xu Zhenying and others.

Mo Jinchun's heart was surging when he heard this. He didn't bother about whether Xu Zhenying was a boy or a girl at all, so he spoke first as soon as his mind got excited.

After finishing speaking, seeing everyone looking at him, Mo Jinchun's heart felt hot and he was even more nervous.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhenying smiled and said: "Mo Jinchun reminds you very much that this land allocation is a major matter for every refugee, and it is also related to whether we can gain a foothold in Lan County."

The crowd nodded yes.

But Fang Xun's eyes were a little dodgey.

"But there is a war and chaos outside right now. We have to wait until the snow melts in spring." Xu Zhenying stared at Mo Jinchun and smiled slightly, "Mo Jinchun, have you read a book? Do you know how to read?"

Mo Jinchun's heart was filled with enthusiasm, and he raised his head high under Xu Zhenying's encouraging gaze, "It's embarrassing to say that I haven't made any progress since I was born a child five years ago."

Although he spoke modestly, his eyes were full of high spirits.Tongsheng and scholars can be considered figures in any place in the Zhou Dynasty.

What's more, Mo Jinchun's family is a bodyguard, but his knowledge is so advanced, which shows that his parents have worked hard to train him.

Even Xu Huiming was inspired and looked at Mo Jinchun with a little more appreciation.

Xu Zhenying smiled and praised: "I can't tell that Jinchun is still capable of literary and military skills."

But Mo Jinchun's Qiqiao and exquisite mind realized that even though Xu Zhenying said this, he didn't treat him particularly differently like others.

"Then...how about arithmetic?"

Mo Jinchun was stunned. He didn't know why Xu Zhenying suddenly asked about this matter. He was a little at a loss, but he could only reply truthfully: "I just want to learn from it."

Xu Huiming whispered to Xu Zhenying: "The content of the children's examination is mainly eight-legged essays, poems, and policy discussions, and it does not involve arithmetic. Sister, you are making it too difficult for him."

Xu Zhenying said: "That's okay. He has already been enlightened anyway, his brain is more flexible than ordinary people, and he can learn new things faster. Who else has nothing to do now?"

Xu Huiming turned around in her mind. She wanted to talk about the younger ones in the Xu family's second bedroom, but when she thought of Xu Zhenying's attitude towards the second bedroom, she had no choice but to give up.After picking and choosing, he said: "Anping from the fourth room...helps the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt with some chores, I think he should be free."

"Okay." Xu Zhenying turned to Mo Jinchun and said, "Mo Jinchun, you choose a few of Lao Liao's subordinates who are highly respected, able to convince people, have strong communication skills, and are fair in doing things. Then here..."

Xu Zhenying pulled his hair again and looked at the people under him several times. Except for Ming Xiaoshuang, he couldn't find anyone suitable, so he had to say: "This is for now, you follow my fifth sister." Xu Anping learned the four arithmetic operations and some other basic arithmetic knowledge."

Mo Jinchun was naturally unwilling, not to mention that he was already a child, but Xu Zhenying asked him to study with a little girl. He was thinking of ways to politely refuse, but Xu Zhenying continued: "Brother Mo, don't panic, you can work here. , you have to learn some basic things, not just you, but all of us here have learned it. You need to calm down and follow along. The matter of dividing fields involves all aspects, and it is a detailed and huge project. You first have to do the first things. Once things are straightened out and the entire framework is put together, we can discuss it in detail.”

Mo Jinchun's eyes flashed, as if he couldn't believe it, "The city leader wants me to be responsible for allocating the fields?"

Xu Zhenying smiled, "You can't take the lead. After all, I have never used you. I don't know what you are like. Ming Xiaoshuang takes the lead and you are the deputy. Ming Xiaoshuang is still in the city defense. You can go and talk to him later." Let’s meet and convey what I mean. Where is Anping?”

Xu Anping walked over from the end of the team with a look of fear on his face.

She was really frightened. There were many sisters in the family, and the second wife was doting on them. She was neither too old nor too young, so naturally she was the one who was easily ignored.

Ever since they were exiled, their four houses have been in order. They thought they would be in Qianzhou for the rest of their lives, but something unexpected happened midway. They were doing business, fleeing, and robbing the city. No matter how stupid Xu Anping was, , but also knew that the third room was already a giant at this moment, especially the sixth sister.

When Xu Anping saw that her sisters were all busy, she was naturally restless. In the past, her father had restrained her and did not approve of her having more contact with her third wife.But somehow, her father later relented and allowed her to do some small things with Liu Mei.

Xu Anping is different from Feng'er. Feng'er is not afraid of showing timidity or being called shallow. She dares to ask and say anything.

As for her, although she was also with Xu Zhenying, she always looked more, talked less, and asked less. When she met someone she didn't understand, she would quietly ask Xu Yinxi, but she never refused to ask Xu Zhenying.

Therefore, Xu Anping followed Xu Zhenying like a transparent person.

At this moment, Xu Zhenying suddenly called her names like this. Xu Anping felt her face flush and her ears were hot. She quickly raised her hands, and Nono replied: "City Lord, I'm here..."

"I saw that you did well in arithmetic before. This time you will assist the two of them. You and Mo Jinchun will go together later, and the three of you will discuss how to carry out the work of dividing the fields, according to what principles, and when. After you have discussed how long it will take and who is needed, you can prepare a feasibility analysis report for the field division and give it to me."

Xu Anping had never done such a big thing before, and she felt dizzy for a moment. She didn't know why Xu Zhenying entrusted her with such a big thing as dividing the fields. What did she do well?

Xu Anping was about to refuse immediately, but Mrs. Zhao next to her had already held her down and agreed with a smile: "Okay. City Lord, don't worry, she will definitely handle this matter properly."

Mo Jinchun also quickly expressed his position, "Don't worry, City Lord! We will do this when we get back...do that..."

Xu Anping was a little anxious, and repeated with a red face: "Feasibility analysis report on field division!"

Xu Zhenying smiled slightly at Xu Anping, and Xu Anping lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Okay, let's all disperse. Ningmo, go and call Jiang Yongkang and Ming Xiaoshuang. Fourth sister, can you please call the female elders of the Xu family? Let's meet at the county government office for a meeting."

Xu Yinxi was a little puzzled by Xu Zhenying's special request to call the female elders in the family to the meeting, but she didn't ask any questions and turned around to call someone.

Mo Jinchun couldn't help but feel excited.

Let's meet and have a meeting. These six simple words sound like a particularly wonderful feeling.

He looked at Feng'er and Xu Yinxi, and somehow he felt envious of them.

When can he squeeze into the Xu family's inner circle?
At this moment, Mo Jinchun no longer thought about whether Xu Zhenying was a boy or a girl.

It doesn’t matter what gender he is, just be better than him, right?

Xu Zhenying and Feng'er walked from the chicken coop to the county government office.

Along the way, it was obvious that the people in Lan County were much more friendly towards her.

In the past two days, she had been seen either hiding away or kneeling down tremblingly. Today, it was rare for people to avoid her, and even the bold ones dared to say hello to her.

Xu Zhenying smiled and nodded one by one, and from time to time he would chat with the person who spoke, talking about the disaster situation in the homes of these people.

After a few of them passed by, several common people still stared at her back and refused to leave, sighing: "Who said this king is so vicious? He looks very kind to me and even smiles at me."

"Whoever is willing to give us food is not a bad person! Isn't it said that they are also fleeing famine? It's not easy for anyone these days."

"No, even though it looks a little too small, it's not as big as my baby."

"To be honest, Magistrate Sun has never distributed food to us before."

Someone immediately reprimanded: "You know it's treason! Magistrate Sun is a good official. He has done so many things for us. We must not be heartless! Didn't you see that Magistrate Sun was following them? I heard Said that Magistrate Sun’s family is still trapped in the inn——”

"Hey, isn't it better to stay in an inn? I don't think your Majesty and his people are embarrassing Mrs. Sun. It's better to have good food and drink every day than to kill people as soon as you enter the city. Besides, the free house is not Are they all being accommodated by the refugees? Otherwise, why would you sleep on the streets?"

The discussion gradually faded away.
